She started her music journey at a tender age of 6 at Makerere Full Gospel Church, where her Mother always took her and her siblings to Sunday School.This is where she gained interest in music and the playing of musical instruments. She only had interest in learning to play the Keyboard and Jazz Drums, until she saw an English lady playing the Bass Guitar at Pastor Robert Kayanja's wedding in 1992. This lady was a part of the "No Bad Thing" band, invited from England to play at the Pastor's wedding. She was the first "female" Martha ever saw play the Bass Guitar, which was an inpiration for her to devot herself to learn to play. Her focus was channeled away from the bride and groom on seeing this lady, and wished she could one day be like her.Today, Martha is an accomplished musician playing a variety of instruments including keyboard, bass guitar, rythem guitar, jazz drums. She also plays Ugandan traditional instruments such as "Amadinda" (Xylophone), Kiganda drums and the flute.
